Taiping Trip!

Okay guys...It happened that I went to a Taiping trip with my family on 27th and 28th of Dec 2008.Yeah,it's not TAIPEI so from the beginning I didn't expect it to be a super exciting trip.It was again one of those trips where I went with some kids and a bunch of old people ( That was cruel but it's the fact), coz my family likes lazy travelling - no driving by yourself, no risk of being abandoned in an island, no numerous checkings on the map and still can't find the way out...all we have to do is to wait, eat, sleep and watch. That's how travelling company could survive with our hard earned money! And I actually didn't take a single picture of the lake of Taiping, not even stepping my feet on the pavement of its park. THE BUS JUST PASSED BY IT and the tourist guide said, " oh, that's the lake!". That's all. Oh my, what Taiping trip is that without even going to the most famous Taiping lake!!!

Okay, I shouldn't lament too much. From what I had seen, Taiping lake is not that nice actually.. Nonetheless,what beyond my expectations is that the pics taken are amazingly beautiful! Without the sceneries of Taiping lake, I still manage to grab the local into my eyes, and into yours too.

At Taiping Zoo - Wow, I would say that it was an absolute fantastic visit to greet all the wildlife there! One can still be surprised by the wide biodiversity in the zoo no matter how old he is or how many times he has been there before.And merely because we were just allocated an hour of time to visit the zoo, we have no choice but to sit on the mini bus and look around the zoo within half an hour.But still I managed to catch the funniest animal inside:

sitting on the butt butt car..sorry it's blurred on moving..

Seemingly freed - it's not caged but instead tied on the branch! pity...T.T


A cute bear ^.^

A submerged crocodile - do you spot it?

You might need a magnifying glass for this - the bangaus are queueing up for water!

oww it's an ostrich..what's that behind it???

It's DANIEL!!! a rare breed!!!

Zippppbbbra~~

OK. 194 is there too. but he's living at the other side with his wife.
*so blissful*

a camel in tropical forest?? Why only one hunch on its back?

I like this! the parrots on top of the branches!
The sky's the limit!

actually Kenny is there too. he has long limbs!
a rare breed too!

The swans. I saw the black ones too!
* makes me remind of the fairy tales*

I felt so relaxed to return to the nature. Somemore can visit some friends there..hahaha.. An advice - It's a total waste if you decided to bring your friends or family to visit the whole zoo for just ONE HOUR! There's an wildlife encyclopaedia inside - please spend at least a day there. It's worth your time!


Next destination: laut Taiping?? We went out of the sea the next day of the trip. We saw how the fishermen catch the kerangs ( using a small but hard metal net), the mangrooves with crabs all over the land, and a fish breeding area which floats on the sea! A gain of knowledge though :P

those uncles so handsome ya...

hehe..promoting taiping..

The fishing village..what kind of life would it be?

See~ we really stood on it! The feeling of floating is quite scary as if you're going to fall! Feeling a bit dizzy too~ but anyway, loads of fun for the first time on here! Cheers for the Taiping trip!
